Joel, many thanks it works a treat. Amazing how one little missing bit can
stump you for ages.

Cheers

Joel, I am not including weekends but I don't think it makes a difference if
it takes todays' date and subtracts one.

I tried the code below but it did not find the file "NewName".

ub tryopen()
basename = "Report15Probability"
yesterday = Format(Date - 1, "yyyymmdd")
NewName = basename & yesterday

'
ChDir "Z:\"
Workbooks.Open Filename:="Z:\NewName.csv"
End Sub

Have I entered this correctly?
Sometimes on this computer when you hit New or reply it does not open the
popup window to reply.

Below will work, but are you including weekends and holidays?-

basename = "Report15Probability"
yesterday = Format(Date - 1, "yyyymmdd")
NewName = basename & yesterday

Hi, i have a macro which opens a file which is created automatically with a
date in the filename. I can add the date to the filename but I want to open
the file in a series of macros to be run every morning. I have tried using
some examples from the disscussion board but no success yet.

I want the filename updated with yesterday's date.

The constant name of the file is Report15Probability whith the date
yyyymmdd. I am about to try the LastMofifiedYesterday property but I am
running out of options.

Sorry for not posting the code but this is due to restrictions on e-mail

Hope some one can help.
